AirPower History Tour  |  July 6-8

The Commemorative Air Force (CAF) B-29/B-24 Squadron returns to the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force this summer with several historic aircraft from its AirPower History Tour. Scheduled to appear are the B-29 Superfortress “FIFI,” the B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil,” and — weather permitting — the AT-6 Texan and PT-13 Stearman.

As with any gathering of historic aircraft, arrival times, departures, and public viewing hours are subject to change due to weather or maintenance considerations. Check our website for up-to-date information--nationalmuseum.us.af.mil

A colorful lineup of historic Stearman biplanes will visit the Museum this summer during a new Stearman Fly-In, bringing dozens of these classic trainer aircraft to the flightline. Organizers expect between 40-50 aircraft, making it one of the largest gatherings of aircraft to visit the Museum.

High Altitude Effects Research Volunteers Needed

# data[].attributes.body
Help us provide aircraft pilots, other aircrew members, high altitude parachute personnel, and astronauts with the best equipment and procedures to accomplish their missions while dealing with the effects of being at high altitude.

The 711th Human Performance Wing is conducting human subject training in the altitude chamber facilities at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH to provide qualified volunteers for DoD-wide-applicable research and equipment test and evaluation.  Volunteers are needed now to become members of the High Altitude Chamber Human Subject Panel (HAC HSP).  HAC HSP procedures, as well as those for research supported by the HAC HSP, are reviewed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Institutional Review Board (AFRL IRB), an independent ethics and regulatory committee.

If you volunteer for the HAC HSP, you will receive $150/mo Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay during the training and for the duration of your membership on the panel for each month in which you take an altitude chamber “flight,” and participate in critical USAF-related research.  You may quit at any time for any reason. Volunteers must be active duty military (or guardsmen or reservists on active duty orders), 22-55 yrs of age, 5’0’’- 6’4’’ tall, 88-298 lbs, and meet other entrance criteria, which we will explain when you contact us at 711HPW.HSP@US.AF.MIL.

YOU can be a part of history and make a difference to improve combat effectiveness of US and allied fighter aircrew!  Email today.

# data[].attributes.body
Once upon a time, individuals must access multiple systems (e.g. myTraining, myLearning, MyVector, myBiz/DCPDS, MilPDS, vMET, etc…), to manually consolidate training, education, and experience data which is time consuming. Now, DAFLR provides a single, consolidated record of all learning, experiences, and credentials in one place. DAFLR displays historical learning data that may not be displayed by other systems of records due to their display limitation (e.g. SURF).

Department of the Air Force Learning Record (DAFLR) is a “one stop shop” for learning information available to all Airmen and Guardians. An individual digital portfolio consolidating and displaying a comprehensive record of an Airmen and Guardian’s education, training, and experiential accomplishments throughout a learner’s career in one location; a validated record of what an individual knows and can do.

To access the DAFLR application, go to https://envision.af.mil/daflr and log in with your CAC credentials.

The DAFLR is available to all Total Force (Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve) Airmen, Guardians, and civilians.

Verify your supervisor’s information upon initial login to access your individual learning record.

It’s a user-friendly platform.  To learn more, visit the “Frequently Asked Questions” (also attached) and/or “Quick Reference Guide” immediately available on the front page once logged in.

Member’s first line of contact is their unit training manager.
